I'm totally out of ideas - piping problem - help please!

Franklymydear

Hi, folks - I have a script which will (I've seen it doing it!) pipe email messages to a script. This suddenly stopped working CPanel/RedLinux - and I need to find a fix .... this is the code in question -

$query = "SELECT * FROM mail_accounts";
$mail_accounts = mysql_query($query);
while ($mails = mysql_fetch_array($mail_accounts))
{
$receive_server = $mail_servers[$mails["ms_id"]];
$r_login = $mails["login"];
$r_password = $mails["passwd"];
if ($mail_servers_type[$mails["ms_id"]] == "p") $receive_server .= "/pop3:110";
else $receive_server .= ":143";

if ($mbox = imap_open("{$receive_server}INBOX", $r_login, $r_password))

.... that's part of a file called receive.php - the error message I'm getting is

Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {mail.XXXX.com/pop3:110}INBOX in /home/xxxx/public_html/helpdesk/receive.php on line 161

I'm afraid I'm a total newbie at this and I can't figure out why the script stopped working on the cPanel host and yet it's still working on my bargain-basement directadmin hosting ....

I'm open to suggestions/barters/paid help - just need it fixed!

Thanks

have you checked to see if the mail server is still working normaly? It could have gone down for maintance etc. This may cause that type of an error

what was the solution?

Franklymydear

localhost is what solved the problem - nothing actually to do with the script itself 🙂 - just the newbie (me) trying to get the configs right.

The script worked like it said on the box once I had it correctly set up <sigh>

Thanks for enquiring.

Hey, could you explain to me how you write your code for the scrip that the email activates? Or do you know of any good tutorials? Thank you!
